I just replaced mine, you can get those at autozone.

oh yeah, they might have to be ordered which probably will take a day or two. Make sure you scrape off the old gasket so its flush, mine leaked when I didn't. I got extras if you want one.

Be careful buying that part at auto parts stores, most stock the wrong one. Take you old gasket with you or go directly to Satan. Make sure you use RTV sealant or that bitch will LEAK!

Just go to the dealership and get a gasket, it's only a few bucks. Tell then what you need and they can look it up.

The thermostat you get from howell with have a rubber gasket around the outer edge. get rid of it, that's the gasket for the Neon, not the Eclipse.
